One of the most controversial issues that our country is facing today is the legalization of marijuana. I’m not writing a research paper on my opinion of the legalization of marijuana or even legalization of marijuana in general, I’m writing a paper about the already changed law: Medical Marijuana. “What effects on the body does medical marijuana cause and what illnesses does it actually treat?” is the question that most people wonder, but don’t have the answer to unless they do their research. Most people don’t even know if the illness they have is eligible to receive medical marijuana, and I want to answer some of the questions people may have because I have them as well. I know that most teachers are sick and tired of reading ‘legalization of marijuana’ papers, but I know like mine is different and will be very informative.  Our country is changing and it’s inevitable, so we might as well gather all the information we can.
